I'm looking to upgrade the coilovers on my MK6R, and I honestly did not know msia had so many local brands.

I've been looking at a few different local brands like:

- Ftuned
- Titan
- TAG
- Fawster
- Premium
- RDS

However, I'm having trouble finding any reviews of these brands online.

Has anyone here used any of these coilovers? If so, I'd really appreciate hearing your feedback. How do they ride? How do they handle? Are they durable? What type of setting did you request for and was it fulfilled? Any other thoughts or feedback?
Of course you're also free to draw comparisans between local brands and well known manufacturers such as Ohlins, Bilstien, Tien, etc.

Just to let ya'll know, i'm only doing some sprited driving, never going to track the car as it's my daily, and i'm looking for a brand that can get me the best compromise between comfort and performance.

Thanks in advance!

Without a doubt RDS

they are the closest thing you can get towards reputable brands such as Ohlins bilstein

Not Tein, Unless the high end Tein Units having proper bypass valve or multi flow oil passage/valving

Maybe around 15-25k, don't drive long distance often.

Hi, I'm from RDS.
Gonna be unbiased and recommend how you should shop for coilovers.
I recommend you speaking to each brand and get a understanding of the tuning philosophy.
Every brand has their philosophy how the car should act on the road or track.
A good understanding how it work and tuned to achieve what you want will heavily decide on your choice.
And being you're trying to get best of both comfort and performance, this is a very delicate balance.
Each person has different perspective of comfort.
So, ask about spring rate, the valving and piston.

Just contact us @ RDS Motorsports, we're happily to explain more.
